Impact
on Thursday, June 21 scored a 0.97 rating, down from a 1.02 rating last week,
but the third consecutive show to round to a 1.0.
Impact averaged 1.24
million viewers, down eight percent from last week's average of 1.34 million
viewers. It was the fewest viewers during the summer series and the fewest in
two years dating back to June 24, 2010.
On cable TV Thursday night,
Impact ranked #37 on cable TV, #15 among males 18-34, and #15 among males 18-49,
which was the lowest m18-49 ranking since April. Impact was up against 18
million viewers for the NBA Finals finale on broadcast TV, but the show did not
fare well on cable TV, trailing comedy repeats on TBS and "World's Dumbest" on
TruTV.
The key demos were the same as last week, indicating TNA lost the
older-than-49-years-old demographic, likely to the NBA Finals. Impact gained
younger male viewers, improving in males 12-17 and males 12-34
to the highest rating in both
demos since May 10.Source
